Stunning!  This is an exceptional and unique box by Nancy Youngblood.  The box is fully carved on all four sides.  What makes it so interesting and complex is how the designs flow from one section to another.  One side has an “S” swirl from the rim to the base. The next has waterfall ribs followed by slant ribs. The final section has a free-flowing swirling with two rounded sections.  It is a creative and elegant use of form and design.  Each side is dynamic, and looking at any of the two sections is amazing.  The lid is matte and has a flame handle.  Each side is carved with TINY flame “ribs” that even extend onto the side. I took additional photos of the lid so the intricacy of it can be seen in more detail.  The entire surface is also fully stone polished, and consider that each rib has two “sides” to be polished, and the surface area of the piece is about double its size!  The box and lid are both signed in the clay on the bottom, “Nancy Youngblood”.  Nancy has won numerous awards for her melon bowls, including Best of Pottery several times at Santa Fe Indian Market, along with Best of Show.
